Talking Wren was in one of her unusual quiet moments. She had just pulled Little Otter to safety. She suddenly realized that Broken Spear, the seer of the other had warned her and told her where she should stand at this precise moment.
An eagle let out a cry. She looked at Taelo and saw him nod. He had made sure she was in place for this moment.
Little Otter sat next to Talking Wren and thanked her for saving his life. At that moment he sensed that this was the moment that bonded them for their lives.
A new maturity seemed to rush in as he realized that he was leading a team of hunters that had become his friends and who together had out preformed all other hunt teams.
He transitioned from a envious person to one that learned from all those around them.
Talking Wren began thinking about her capabilities and what she could do to enrich herself and those around her.
She knew she could hunt. She knew that her mind gave her insights that others seemed to miss.
She began to apply herself and was soon recognized for her ability to guide major efforts.
During the return from the journey of the heart, she was sure that the team had met their end when Taelo was confronted and forced to kill the co-leader of the Warrior Clan.
She watched as Taelo expertly handled the situation and led the team on their journey home.
She knew then that she and Little Otter would support Taelo and follow him wherever he asked them to go.
She and Little Otter held hands as they sat with the rest of the team on head rock and watched the sun kiss the far horizon.
She was where she had always known she wanted to be.
It was different then she had at one time thought but she knew that she and Little Otter were somehow meant for each other.
